Galant: Agreement with Turkey very close

Israel and Turkey are very close to concluding their rapprochement agreement, Housing and Construction Minister Yoav Gallant said on Thursday, the most senior Israeli official to date to speak publicly in such upbeat tones about an imminent agreement.

By contrast, senior Turkish officials have been saying for months that an agreement was just around the corner. Their predictions, however, never materialized, and the accord has remained elusive.
